if employer contribution is more than 12% than the % cross the limit of 12% is considered as salary

No,
Lets say 12% of basic is 2000 (per month).
EE contribution= 2000
ER contribution= 1800 (12% of 15000)

Is this possible as both contributions ideally match???

Employees can contribute his total salary (basic) x 12% in any of the value...

But, Employer contribution not restricted to employee's same value. Employer contribution Upto 1800 is mandatory. Otherwise no way for restriction.
